<u>Answer;</u>

Reflective surface

<u>Explanation;</u>

Reflection is one of the property of a wave that occurs when a wave hits a boundary which is a reflective surface. The wave bounces off upon hitting the reflective boundary, such that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
Therefore, ice is an example of a reflective surface as light waves bounces off and radiate back when they hit the surface of the ice.

A biconvex lens is formed by using a piece of plastic(n=1.70).

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

$f =17.15\ cm$

Explanation:

given,

refractive index of lens, n = 1.70

Radius of curvature of front surface. R₁ = 20 cm

Radius of curvature of the back surface, R₂ = 30 cm

focal length= ?

$\dfrac{1}{f}=(n-1)(\dfrac{1}{R_1}-\dfrac{1}{R_2})$

R₁ = +20 cm

R₂ = -30 cm

n = 1.70

$\dfrac{1}{f}=(1.70-1)(\dfrac{1}{20}-\dfrac{1}{-30})$

$\dfrac{1}{f}=0.70 \times 0.0833$

$f = \dfrac{1}{0.7 \times 0.0833}$

$f =17.15\ cm$

the focal length of the lens is equal to 17.15 cm

An object has more momentum if it has which of the following?

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

C.) A high velocity and Large mass.

Explanation:

Momentum of any object is defined by following formula

Here : m = mass of object

v = velocity of object

now we know that since momentum is product of mass and velocity

So in order to have more momentum we need the value of this product to be more. So this product will me large is both the physical quantity will be more in magnitude. So if mass is large and velocity will be more then the product of them will be large and hence the momentum of object will be more. Btw I had that question too.
